It is obviously not etiquette to ask a married woman to wait on you at the bedside.
Not to mention, Feng Shaojun is already engaged, and the famous lady has her owner.
Even if Zhu Xi was a sick man who could die at any time, Feng Shaojun's reputation would be greatly damaged. Anyone who wants to save face cannot make such excessive demands.
However, Princess Qin just said it.
Feng Shaojun was not annoyed at all, and agreed without blinking: "Thanks to the great love of the princess, Shaojun will definitely accompany the little prince well."
Princess Qin's face turned pale, and before she could say the next sentence, Feng Shaojun asked: "Please give me a word of caution. When can I let my grandmother go?"
Princess Qin raised her lips and sneered: "It depends on when Han'er's illness will improve."
Zhu Han's illness became worse day by day.
As early as a month ago, Princess Qin secretly sent people to Pingjiang Mansion to keep an eye on the Cui family. She planned to give the Cui family some "color".
Coincidentally, Xu's old lady didn't want to stay well at Cui's house, so she set off for Beijing. Princess Qin simply ordered a secret sentry to stop Xu's boat halfway.
This trick of idle chess came in handy today.
Mrs. Xu is Feng Shaojun's direct maternal grandmother. With Mrs. Xu under control, Feng Shaojun can only bow his head no matter how scheming he is.
Feng Shaojun asked softly: "May I ask the princess, what if the little prince's illness never improves, or dies and returns to the west?"
Princess Qin: "..."
These two short sentences were like a sharp blade, piercing Princess Qin's internal organs.
Princess Qin felt a sharp pain in her heart, her face suddenly changed, and anger shot out from her eyes: "How dare you! Bastard! How dare you curse my son!"
Feng Shaojun smiled slightly and said slowly: "My Majesty, please don't be upset. Your Majesty knows in her heart that what I tell you is the truth. If the little prince hadn't been at a critical moment of life and death, I wouldn't have done such a shameless and despicable thing."
"For the sake of my grandmother's safety, I am willing to go to the Prince of Qin's Mansion to accompany the little prince, regardless of my reputation."
"The princess should give me an accurate word. When will she let my grandmother go?"
Princess Qin's breathing was rapid, an angry glare flashed in her eyes, and she stared at Feng Shaojun: "Feng Shaojun! I'm warning you, you are not allowed to talk nonsense in front of Xiner. Otherwise, I will kill Xu with one blow.
I’ll make you regret it!”
"A mere business woman will die as soon as she dies. Even if you go to the Penal Department Yamen to file a complaint afterwards, I, the princess, will not have to die for a lowly business woman."
This is extremely harsh to say.
But in the Qi Dynasty where imperial power was supreme, this was a fact.
Feng Shaojun did not provoke Princess Qin any more.
When Princess Qin calmed down a little, Feng Shaojun said calmly: "I entered the mansion today and will stay with the young prince until his illness improves. After ten days, please let my grandmother go."
Once the Xu family is released, with Feng Shaojun's cunningness, how can he be willing to stay in Prince Qin's palace?
Princess Qin had no intention of letting Xu go.
However, for now, I have to make some casual remarks.
"Okay, in ten days, I will let the Xu family go." Princess Qin agreed.
Princess Qin’s words are beyond words.
Feng Shaojun did not expose it, but followed Princess Qin's words and said: "Your Majesty, I, Feng Shaojun, also make a promise here that I will take care of and accompany the little prince with all my heart."
After a pause, Feng Shaojun continued: "However, I am an engaged person after all. It is really inappropriate to enter the little prince's bedroom like this. Why not ask the empress to declare to the outside world that she will accept me as her adopted daughter. In this way, my adopted sister will take care of me. My sworn brother, there will be less gossip."
Now that you have entered Prince Qin's palace, do you still want to marry Shen You again?
Princess Qin sneered and responded readily: "That's fine."
Then, Bi Luo was called in: "This is my princess's newly adopted daughter. Please pass on this princess' message. Everyone in the mansion must treat Miss Feng San with respect when they see her."
Feng Shaojun pursed his lips and smiled: "Foster mother, please call me Shaojun!"
Princess Qin: "..."
blue sky:"……"
She changed her tune very quickly.
Princess Qin twitched her lips and quickly changed her words: "Bi Luo, take Shaojun to the west wing to settle down."
They didn't even prepare a courtyard for entertaining guests, so they let Feng Shaojun live in the west wing of the main courtyard.
This is to monitor day and night to prevent Feng Shaojun from escaping.
Feng Shaojun sneered in his heart, his face showed no expression, and he nodded slightly: "Foster mother, Shaojun will leave first."
This "adopted mother" must not know that she also has an "adopted father", Eunuch Yang. Otherwise, she would not deserve to be so happy.
…
The main courtyard of Princess Qin does not need to be described in detail. It is beautifully and luxuriously furnished. The west wing is very spacious, with a side room and a clean room in the side room, which is enough for Feng Shaojun and three servants.
Mother Zheng arranged her luggage, and Jixiang served her master and changed into another dress.
It's now time, and there's nothing to hide.
Feng Shaojun whispered: "My grandmother was stopped by Princess Qin's people on her way to Beijing. Now, Princess Qin threatens my grandmother's life, so I have to come."
The expressions of Zheng's mother and Jixiang both changed.
Mother Zheng was born into the Cui family, and Jixiang had also lived in Pingjiang Mansion for six years. They both knew very well how close their master was to their grandmother.
No wonder Feng Shaojun looked so ugly after receiving the letter.
No wonder she came to Prince Qin's Mansion immediately.
It was a matter of Xu's life and death, and there was no room for her to hesitate at all.
Mother Zheng's eyes flashed with anger, she gritted her teeth and whispered: "It's so despicable, shameless, and extremely hateful!"
Ji Xiang's eyes turned red and he was about to cry: "Miss, it's easy to get in from Prince Qin's Mansion, but it's extremely difficult to get out."
Feng Shaojun glanced at Jixiang: "Jixiang, I'm afraid I will wrong you in the future."
Ji Xiang was startled.
Mother Zheng reacted immediately and shook Ji Xiang's hand vigorously.
Jixiang also understood, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he said hurriedly: "You don't have to wait until later, I can change clothes and faces with the lady now!"
In her previous life, it was Jixiang who took over her identity and she was able to escape from Prince Qin's palace.
In this life, she will never let Ji Xiang die innocently.
Feng Shaojun held Ji Xiang's other hand and said softly: "Not now. We have just entered the palace of Prince Qin and are not familiar with everything here. We don't know what Zhu Xi's temper is."
"In the past few days, you have been secretly paying attention to Zhu Xi's every move, and you must also learn how to deal with Princess Qin."
Jixiang nodded solemnly: "Miss, don't worry, I will observe carefully and secretly, so as not to reveal any flaws in the future."
In Feng Shaojun's mind, the scene of his previous life and his auspicious farewell appeared.
Back then, Ji Xiang looked at her so firmly and asked her to escape from Prince Qin's palace as soon as possible.
Feng Shaojun's nose was slightly sore, and he put a little force on his hand: "Let's go, now follow me to see the little prince."
